NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene, which encodes a member of the serine/threonine kinase family, regulates cell polarity and functions as a tumor suppressor. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by the growth of polyps in the gastrointestinal tract, pigmented macules on the skin and mouth, and other neoplasms. Alternate transcriptional splice variants of this gene have been observed but have not been thoroughly characterized. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Uniprot Description
LKB1: a S/T protein kinase of the CAMKL family. A tumor suppressor that helps control cell structure, polarity, apoptosis and energy homeostasis. Phosphorylates AGS3 (activator of G-protein signaling 3) GPR domains, regulating the interaction of GPR-containing proteins with G-proteins. A cytosolic protein complex comprised of LKB1, the pseudokinase STRAD, and the MO25 scaffold protein. Activates AMPK and several related protein kinases. AMPK plays a predominant role as the master regulator of cellular energy homeostasis, controlling downstream effectors that regulate cell growth and apoptosis in response to cellular ATP concentrations. The Lkb1/Strad/Mo25 complex can polarize single epithelial cells, leading to the formation of a brush border containing microvilli on the apical surface. Mutation in the corresponding gene causes Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS), an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by benign GI tract polyps and dark skin lesions of the mouth, hands and feet. A variety of other LKB1 gene mutations have been associated with the formation of sporadic cancers in several tissues.

Product Notes
The STK11 stk11 (Catalog #AAA153004) is a Blocking Peptide and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. AAA Biotech's LKB1 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Blocking (BL). LKB1 peptide is used for blocking the activity of LKB1 antibody. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the STK11 stk11 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "LKB1, Blocking Peptide" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
